((It is the Vanir and the Vanir are the Aesir. And at the moment the Crimson Star II doesn't really matter.))

Odin: First we must save my life and your lives. After that I can self destruct the torpedoes. However If we stop the launching and I still die, the torpedoes will be launched just a little later. You need to trust me, I know my people and I know how to stop this.

As Odin says in the Hovamal:"Praise no day 'til evening; no wife 'til on her pyre; no sword 'til tested;
no maid 'til bedded; no ice 'til crossed;
no ale 'til drunk."

*Confusion takes a hold of his mind suddenly. What is he doing?! He is betraying his master, betraying his teachings! How dare he even think about helping these people? The very thought of this should make him sick! But...his family. Above all his family. He can't let them die and now that he's seen them again the pain is so much greater. He longs to be with them, to be normal. Normal...he was never normal. And he shall never be normal! How can he be such a fool? Yes, the winged one swore but can he really be trusted? How does he know for sure that they won't betray him?* Be sensible! *With a shake of his head he disregards all doubts, takes a hold of the Time Matrix and concentrates on his next target hoping these people know what to do*

"They didn't name him Death for nothing, you know. He's a killer, a murderer. Men, women, children...doesn't matter, if they're in his way...if he's bored. He'll kill 'em all. He has no respect for life. He only wants to kill and destroy."- Stealth
"He could change. If we could get him he could change."- Nivek
"No, I don't think so. No one can stop Death."- Stealth

Odin: Vidar, welcome to the Crimson Star. Makesure that my other self gets off the ship. I should be heading to the docking bays now.

Vidar: Yes father.

*Vidar leaves in hunt of the other Odin*

Odin: Well Cracken shut off the self destruct so we don't have to go through this again.

((OOS: A) Scar, Irvine here is exactly the same as in Holocaust, except four days younger. Besides, how on earth did he get on the Star to wire the core for detonation under the nose of Cracken and Starr?

B) I'd like to interrupt the RPG to ask a question: If you guys save your past selves, where are *you* going to go?))

((Well I see to possible ways to handle the two character problem. 1.) have 1 of each character stay on Crimson Star when it is destroyed. Or have those god like characters merge our characters after completing the mission.))

*CRacken runs to a computer console, and furiously begins typing in code. Back in his own time, he can feel the Force once again flow through him. His fingers move with deftness and quickness. He looks at the Reverant*

If you want to save yourself, start running. i'm going to hyperspace this thing outside the Galactic Outer Rim, and detonate it so no more lives will ever be lost.

*He agains begins to work, and he manages to override the self destruct. good, now he had to get to the Hyperdrive command console... he could hack through, and bring up a remote control from this station he was at.... which he proceded to do.*which he proceded to do.*

((@Scar: What? The Time Matrix is the only thing that *can* change the timeline. I don't see how Irvine could change anything.

@everyone else: If we avoided our previous selves, then they would still be sent on the mission to find the Time Matrix. Deac's right tho - the Aeges can fix any screwups.

@Deac: Make the Revenant do something vital/important - technically it shouldn't have been pulled with us ))

*at Cracken's words, Rwos leaves the core area, heading back towards Ken'atra* Ken'atra! We need to jump again. *Rwos stops and realizes something* Vidar, we need you to transport us...we don't know exactly where we'll end up if Ken'atra guesses where to take us.

Only I, you, and Ken'atra need to come...unless we need Odin to prove he's alive. Once you two are in the right place, I'm going to use the Time Matrix to transport myself to Asgard...and save Deac.

Odin: Vidar go, I'll take care of this, I know where to go. And Rwos no offense but you are not going to Asgard without at least me. Besides I can save Deac very easily. Oh and Cracken is coming along as well.

*Vidar ignores Rwos and obeys his father's orders. Running to the docking bay he finds Odin and the Einherjar near the entrance to the bay.*

Vidar: Father you need to hurry, I'll carry the injured warrior get the ship ready for launch.

*Past Odin nods in affirmation and runs to a shuttle followed by the Einherjar. Vidar picks up the wounded one and follows the group*

*Cracken nods, and accepts the help. he points to the console next to his*
I'm bringing up the Hyperspace control console now, i think the Reshii Maze should be sufficiant distance, and there is nothing there.

damnit if i cant have the current Irvine in here at an altered time, at least ill intro him for C8

*While on Raynor II, the site for the CS: II, Irvine walks slowy down corridors, then comes running an officer whom claims to ahve important news to Irvine.*

Officer: "My Lord, we have just recieved news that the Crimson Star's Self Destruct mechansium has been activated, and has been deactivated sometime later, there could be a Rebel like force trying to capture the Crimson Star for their own purposes..."

Irvine: "I don't care about the Crimson Star."

Officer: "Your father is aboard, and might be executed!"

Irvine: "I hate my father, you should have known that by now..."

Officer: "Um, yes my lord. But don't you think that you have the responsibility of taking care of the matter? The Crimson Star II is almost in full working operation."

Irvine: "Ha! My responibilty? To help someone who abandoned me when I was only but a mere child? BAH! He could at least taken me with him. Could have been good for propaganda, at least i would have hated him less... Is my shuttle ready?"

Officer: "I still dont see why you want to leave alone, what if..."

Irvine: "It's my descision alone. I can pilota ship just fine. Don't disobey my orders. Even if they aren't in the best interests."

Officer: "Yes, My Lord."

*The officer turns around and heads off the opposite direction. When Irvine is all alone again, he can't help but say...*

((wow, Irvine seems more vicious than he lets on to the group in the Holocaust thread. How interesting ^_~))

Rwos: *hesitates for a moment* Very well. *to Ken'atra* Keep your mind clear. *Rwos touches the Time Matrix, and is staggered backward by an instant flash of light. He feels magic flowing back, filling him up dizzingly, bringing an almost euphoric feeling. He looked down. His teleporter was back.*

It is done. The links have been broken.

((OOS: The rest of you would just feel heightened senses/Force powers again - Rwos, unlike you, had the link to his powers taken away))

*Irvine presses button on remote detonator, to blow up the relays on the artifcal sunlight mirrors around the fake planet.
Next Irvine presses another button on a detonator for themal detonators for all life pods and radation suit rooms. Then Irvine presses a button on a third remote detonator for thermal detonaors leaking out desaterious radiation. All from orbit.*

*A golden being appear, who only the Revenant recognises, but the others guess that this is one of the Aeges*

Furro?

Furro: Indeed, it is I. The contest is over, Starkiller. We won. The timeline is saved, and it is corrected. You never died, you *points at Revenant* never died again, and all is right again.
This also means that Starr Hallifire is still alive, and that the Avatars are back in the planes.

You are to go back to that Cantina you all like, and as for you, Cracken, you and Starr have a great luxury:
